Thanks to Poli's thread, got interested in seeing where I fall on the political scale.

Lets just see where each of us fall, with so many of us claiming to be moderate, libertarian and so forth.

My result.

Where your Personal score meets your Economic score on the grid below is your political philosophy. Based on the above score, you are a Populist-Leaning Conservative .

Placement is about right for my views. Would hate to see it more liberal.

I have no idea how to copy the picture to this thread. I came out about where I expect, on the right hand side of the line between Moderate and Libertarian. I selected "support" and oppose" for things, but never went to the "strongly" option at either end.

I describe myself as a paleoconservative libertarian, so not far off. "Moderate", I guess that depends who you ask. :D

Here's the question I always have to vote null on:

Support and Expand Free Trade

I'm all for free trade on paper, but I strongly suspect that our national sovereignty is being eroded in the name of free trade. I feel like a balance needs to be struck between the two. A balance that equates to "No Opinion" on political quizzes.

Dang! Adjust your windage a little to the right and drop your elevation some and you have a bullseye!

Don't know that I agree that my low personal score means I want standards of morality enforced by government. Person wants to be gay, that's their chosen course in life. Just don't tell me I can't tell them they are going to hell for it or that I have to teach my kids that it's ok and normal.

Of course - not the best version of the test out there . . . . but I always end up as a libertarian leaning conservative.

Ape, I'm just one square to the left of you, right on that moderate/libertarian line.

Right where I thought I'd be:

However, some of the questions are somewhat loaded. For example:

Decrease overall taxation of the wealthy-What the hell does that mean?

I took it to mean "let 'em keep more of their money".

I read it more as "Fair Tax" since the wealthy pay a higher tax rate then every one else. Where a fair tax or flat tax would mean every pays the same percentage regardless of what they make.
